Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Last week, we left our courageous cranium in the grips of the Evil Dr. Irving Expector Ant and his band of Belliger Ants. Will our hero escape? Or will the city of Metropolis be overrun with outrageous outlaws most...malignANT? Let's find out, as we continue with...

The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman Head!!!

BUM BUM BUUUUMMM

Ant minion #1: "Haha! We've got you now, Spiderman Head!

Dr. Expector Ant: "Yes, and when we're through with you, there won't be any body for the police to find! Mwahaha! Right, boys?"

Anyway, there's no spiderman head on the second cake (he escaped, remember?). I think the cake design is just "ants stealing a cupcake" and the first one just happened to be a spiderman-head cupcake...

So, um, not to call you out as being less geeky than you imagined...But, Spiderman lives in New York City. Superman lives in Metropolis. Although, perhaps your point was that Spiderman Head lives in Metropolis? Anyway, it was totally hilarious. Great story.

All the Ant words remind me of Xanth novels by Piers Anthony, a fantastic read if you got the Ant jokes! And I loved the anouncer voice, I did the same thing for my bestfriend's bachelorette party, it's a superhero theme! lol. Keep up the great work!

This is my new favorite post. It has everything: a story, multiple hilarious cakes, and a Jeff Dunham reference! Way to go, Cakewrecks! PS: Anyone else notice the irony in the fact that there is in fact a hyphen in the word "de-hyphenate"? ;)

I think it is hilarious that most of the wrecks with labels come from the same company, and that company has so many stores in so many different areas of the country.....they really do not pay the bakers or cake decorators enough there LOL!

Dear Jen,Long-time lurker, first-time commenter, but I just had to write in this time to say that this was your best post yet! The cakes were funny, but the story you invented was priceless. It was really like a morning superhero show. Thank you so much for all the laughs!

Love the reference to Achmed!! Also, all the "ant" words reminds me of Vincent Price as Egghead on the 60s Batman tv series.

I actually kind of liked the ants carrying off a cupcake. It's cute, and it's not like they are real ants, just plastic flotsom.

You are very witty and funny, but you obviously don't read the comics. Your innocent errors that everyone feels obliged to point out gave you away. It's would be like if I tried to announce a football game. "Okay, I think the smaller guy is going to throw the ball to that guy running over there . . . "

It took me a while but then it dawned on me, the ants with a cupcake design is the standard design, the checkerboard patterns is the blanket. Some enterprising cake designer jammed a spidey head onto it and voila new cake

Actually those labels with the word "Bakery" inside the brown rectangle are at lots of different bakeries. I've seen them at bakeries as excellent as Publix AND as questionable as Walmart. They probably buy them from the same printing company that just changes the name on them. Might be supplied by the company that sold them the printers that spew out that list of ingredients in teeny, tiny type.

Wasn't planning to comment today until I saw that post, but since I'm here ... WHY would they have Spidy heads in the first place? Are they supposed to bake a cake that is shaped like the body and slap the head on it? I just don't understand the point at all.

There actually is an Antman in the Marvel universe (sometimes). He doesn't have ant powers, but he can get ants to do stuff for him (He can also change his size and do science). I wonder what Spidey did to make him so mad.....

I just discovered your blog today (through the recommendation of another blogging friend - thank goodness for her!) Awesome! So funny, maybe I do have a future as a cake decorator. At least a kinda bad one! :)

Spiderman doesn't live in Metropolis. He couldn't even go visit there, because he's from the Marvel Universe and Metropolis (Superman) is the DC Universe. *cough cough i married a nerd and it's rubbing off on me cough cough*

I laughed so hard at this post, but "BUM BUM BUUUUMMM" really cracked me up because clearly poor old Spidy Head doesn't have one, let alone three. That lovely mutation (three buttocks) is reserved for guys in obscure Monty Python skits.

Spiderman's disembodied head... has moved to Metropolis... his brother has turned monochromatic and gone mouldy... yeah, it all makes perfect wrecky sense.But ants. ANTS FFS! They make my spidy senses tingle, and not in a nice way.Use maggots, faeces, rats, anything but ants.

The decorative uses of mold. Now there's a topic I would like to see remain buried forever (as that cookie apparently has been).

Are Spiderman heads now going to start turning up in random locations across all of wreck-creation?

"This cake design is just too understated and tasteful. It needs something... I know...! I'll put a Spiderman head right there! I can see it now: 'Happy Birthday, Amber, from My Little Pony -- and Spidey!'"

What princess-themed party would not be improved (and emptied) by the impromptu appearance of a disembodied super hero head. The possibilities are endless (or will no doubt seem so if this catches on).

By the way, could someone please create a giant 'Raid' cake? I see more than enough ants this time of year as it is -- this 'ants as wreckorations' kick really needs to stop. Now.

Considering what happened to Spidey when Batman and Superman were on that last wreck I think he's having a much better time lol. Those wreckerators really know how to destroy superhero cakes.. honestly did someone bring one of these to them when they were kids? Then they decide to take vengence on the rest of us. Tragic that lol.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
